Asterisk
(*)
An asterisk preceding a module name instructs MS-LIB to
extract (copy) that module from the library into an object file.
MS-LIB assigns the object file specification, using this format
current drive:module name.OBJ
For example, if the current drive is Drive A and the mod-
ule name is CURSOR, the object file specification is
A:
CURSOROBJ. If you do not want to use the current drive,
copy the file to another. If you want to use the current drive but
not the .OBJ extension, rename the file .
Ampersand
(&)
The ampersand extends the current line when you specify the
operations to perform. When you place an ampersand at the end
of a line, MS-LIB displays the
Opera t ion:
prompt again so that
you can type more responses:
Operation: +CURSOR-HEAP+ HEAP*FOIBLES&
Operation: *INT+ASSUME+RIDEj
I
ENTER
I
Use the ampersand as many times as necessary. Only disk space
limits the number of modules you can append or extract. You can
delete as many modules as exist.
Semicolon (;)
At any time after the first prompt
(Li
bra r y Fi 1e :),
you can
select default responses to the remaining prompt(s). To do so
type
[JI
ENTER
I
Caution: Once you have entered the semicolon, you can no longer
respond to any of the remaining prompts. Therefore, do not use
the semicolon to skip only the
0per at ion:
prompt. To skip one
p~ompt,
use the I
ENTER
I key.
I
GTRL
J[]]
Typing
I
CTRL
J[]] stops the library session at any time. If you
enter an incorrect response, such as an incorrect filename or
module name, type
I
CTRL
I[]]
to exit MS-LIB. Then restart the
session.
If you make an error before you press
I
ENTER
I
use
I
BACKSPACE
I
to
delete characters in that line.
